An explosive right-handed middle-order batter, Ashutosh Sharma, has rapidly emerged as a premier finisher in the TATA IPL. Known for his fearless power-hitting, Ashutosh first grabbed headlines by smashing the fastest T20 fifty by an Indian, reaching the milestone in just 11 balls during the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He carried this destructive form into his 2024 debut season for Punjab Kings, amassing 189 runs at a strike rate of 167.25, highlighted by a spirited 61 off 28 balls against Mumbai Indians. Recognising his game-changing potential, Delhi Capitals secured his services for INR 3.8 Crore for the 2025 season. He immediately repaid that faith with a match-winning, unbeaten 66 off 31 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. With the Delhi Capitals retaining him for the TATA IPL 2026 season, the 27-year-old from Ratlam is poised to further delight DC fans with his finishing abilities and remain a vital cog in the Delhi Capitals middle order.
